Chapter 126: Raising a Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Before re-entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Fei planned to make some preparations.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is the most formidable spirit beast to have appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, bar none. He would rather face the Azure Bull Python than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses six attributes: evil (evolved from darkness), time, space, lightning, wind, and strength. Its intelligence is incredibly high, rivaling that of a human. A ten-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could even challenge a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
In the original novel, even the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python couldn't kill it, instead chasing it away. This demonstrates its exceptional escape ability, allowing it to appear and disappear without a trace. Furthermore, its formidable physique, cautious demeanor, and intelligence rivaling that of a human make it a dominant force in the Star Dou Great Forest.
In particular, it can unleash multiple dangerous spirit skills, each of which is as effective as those of a fifty-thousand-year-old spirit ring.
Most terrifying of all, its desperate skill: the Life and Death Arena, renders it virtually invincible.
Arriving at a blacksmith's shop in a nearby city, Xiao Fei bought a large quantity of raw iron and spent a week crafting various tools. (This is quite interesting!)
Even the people around him gulped, "Brother, you're going on a hunting trip together, yet you're crafting so many tools? And, with your forging skills, crafting these hunting tools is a waste of your resources."
Then, he journeyed alone into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon entering the forest, he didn't try to conceal his presence, but instead released the aura of his god-level martial spirit. He disguised his power level, mimicking the aura of a Soul Douluo, and frightened off many spirit beasts.
However, several still attacked him, but he easily defeated them all. His display of strength was only at the Soul Douluo level, otherwise they would have been scared away.
After searching for over ten days, he hadn't even seen a trace of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Logically, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would have greatly appreciated his martial spirit's aura, and he couldn't help but wonder, could the tiger have escaped the Star Dou Great Forest?
Just as he was about to retire that night, he suddenly felt something approaching. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a spirit beast over 60,000 years old, possessing a dark attribute.
A shiver ripped his heart apart. Could it be the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, preparing to attack him in the darkness?
He calmed his mind, not even letting out a single ounce of killing intent, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
Suddenly, a flash of black light flashed from the front, and a massive, thorny leg slashed towards him. Its surface was as sharp as a steel knife.
Xiao Fei quickly dodged. It was a massive human-faced demon spider, its body over ten meters long, its legs 20 meters long. It looked like it must be a human-faced demon spider emperor, likely over 60,000 years old.
He was speechless. He had waited for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger for ages, only to find this thing. He had originally planned to casually kill it, but it felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows. Xiao Fei's heart sank. It had gotten so close to him. This must be the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, and it looked like it was planning to take advantage of him. It is indeed the smartest soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. Then, with the strength of a Soul Douluo, he fought the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor for 300 rounds, and finally killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor after two hours. Xiao Fei himself was panting beside the corpse, and seemed a little exhausted.
But even so, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had no intention of attacking him. Xiao Fei was speechless. This tiger is too cautious. Is it waiting for me to absorb the soul ring before killing me?
Looking at the black soul ring in front of him, Xiao Fei thought to himself. A soul ring of such a low age must not be absorbed. The problem is that this tiger is obviously not fooled.
Suddenly, Xiao Fei sensed a surge of soul energy from the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor. Unraveling the corpse, he unexpectedly found a 60,000-year-old soul bone.
Overjoyed, Xiao Fei collected the soul bone and, after examining the corpse, whispered, "What a shame! It's not a fire-attributed soul beast. Otherwise, it would be perfect for my ninth soul ring."
With that, he left the body of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor alone.
After Xiao Fei left, he distinctly sensed something contacting the corpse. Immediately, the aura of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor rapidly vanished.
Xiao Fei glanced back at the vanishing aura behind him, then turned away, smiling, "That's interesting."
Over the next two weeks, Xiao Fei defeated six or seven soul beasts that attacked him, the oldest reaching 60,000 years old and the youngest 30,000. Sadly, he never obtained another soul bone. Xiao Fei consistently displayed the strength of a quasi-Title Douluo, seemingly truly aiming for the ninth soul ring.
However, after each soul beast slaying, it would mutter something about how inappropriate it was and leave alone.
Meanwhile, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger would always pick off the soul beast's corpses from behind Xiao Fei, taking advantage of the opportunity. Its strength seemed to be rapidly increasing. Xiao Fei estimated that it was now over 95,000 years old. He secretly sighed, "I hope I'm not raising a tiger to harm you."
One day, as Xiao Fei passed through a swamp, the air seemed to swirl with a venomous aura. A massive tail swept towards Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei quickly dodged. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a massive python with horns sprouting from its head and a body covered in emerald green scales. It was a Jade Scaled Snake King, over 70,000 years old. Xiao Fei quickly transformed into a phoenix and engaged it in battle.
As time passed, after untold hardships, Xiao Fei finally defeated it. Panting, Xiao Fei stood beside the Jade Scaled Snake King's corpse. When he peeled open the carcass, he discovered a 70,000-year-old torso bone. It was the second soul bone Xiao Fei had obtained in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it was a torso bone, its value was immeasurable.
Xiao Fei took out the torso bone of the Green Scaled Snake King, and with his left hand, he unnoticedly dropped a beast soul pill into the body of the Green Scaled Snake King, and then quickly left.
After walking about two kilometers away, Xiao Fei carefully felt the changes in the Green Scaled Snake King's body, while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger seemed to be much more cautious than before, and it took half an hour to get to the Green Scaled Snake King's body.
This time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was not in a hurry to devour the Green Scaled Snake King's body, but was carefully feeling something? Until the Green Scaled Snake King's soul ring gradually dissipated, and from beginning to end, Xiao Fei did not move again.
In the end, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger seemed to still not be able to resist the temptation in his heart, because the Green Scaled Snake King's body was of great benefit to him, and perhaps he could break through the last limit.
